NO RESISTANGE BY SERBINNS Vienna Statement Saye Several Thou- sand Made a Hasty Retreat—Citi- ° zens Welcome Invaders. * ‘ ' Berlin, Jan. 25.—Scutari_has bees occupied by Austro-Hungarian troop according to an announcement issued today by Austro-Hungarian headquar- ters, Several thousand Serbians who formed the garrison. retired toward the softh without offering any resis- tance. The text of the statement follows: “Scutari has been occupied by Aus- tro-Hungarian troops. Several thou- sand Serbians who formed the garri- son retired toward the south without resistance. Austro-Hungarians also have occupied Niksic, Dantlovgred and Podgoritza. “The disarming of the country has been carried on up to the present with- out friction. At several places’ the Montenegrins have not even waited until the Austro-Hungarians appeared, but have laid down their arms before the arrival of the troops in order to return to their homes. At other places a majority of those disarmed prefer internmént to being sent home. Troops Received “Friendly.” “The population generally has re- ceived our troops in a friendly man- ner, and in some instances with cere- mony. Riots such as . occurred: at Podgoritza ceased as soon as the first, nustro-Hungarian detachments ap- peared.” Scutari was occupied by Montene- grin troops in June, 1915, it being’ ex- plained in an official note igsued by {the Montenegrin government that strategic and political reasons impell- ed the Montenegrin descent on Al- bania, An additional reason given was that other powers already had oc- cupied parts of that country. City is Important. Scutari is the most important trad- ing town in Albania and has a popula- tion of twenty thousand. It liés on the east bank of Lake Scutari and has been rebuilt since the earthquake (of 1905. Austrians Take Two Ports.

WILSON FOR A TARIFF BOARO President Has a Plan Nearly Ready for Submission to Congress—To * Introduce Bill. Washington, Jan. 24.—Creation of a tariff commission, it was learned from Official sources tonight, has been de- termined upon ‘by the Wilson adminis- tration. A bill providing for such a commission will be introduced in Con- gress in the near future, and President Wilson may discuss the subject in a message to congress. The duties of the proposed commis- sion or board under the plan are: un- derstood to have been agreed upon’ by administration leaders, and would be to ‘collect information regarding the tariff and to co-ordinate similar pow- ers now believed by President Wilson to be held by existing government bodies. Aside from his belief that the tariff always should be treated in scientific fashion, the President has given con- sideration to the situation which will follow the European war, and has been urged by many of his advisers that legislation will be necessary to safe- guard America’s commercial and in- dustrial interests when that time comes. In his last message to con- gress he said: “Many corditions about which we have repeatedly legislated are being altered from decade to decade under our more rapidly and more radically in the days immediately ahead of us, wher peace has returned to the world and nations of Europe once more take up their tasks of commerce and indus- try with the energy of those who must bestir themselves to build anew. “Just what these changes will be no one can certainly foresee, nor con- fidently predict. They are not calcu- lable, because there are no stable ele- ments in the problem. The most we dan do is. to make certain that we have the necessary instrumentalities of information constantly at our serv- ice, so that We may be sure that we know exactly what we are dealing with when we come to act, if it should be necessary for us to act at all.” When. former Governor Cox of Ohio wrote to him some time ago suggest- ing that a tariff commission be creat- ed, the President replied: “The full powers of a tariff commis- sion are already lodged in the exist- ing organs of the government; most of in the three copper districts of Clif- ton, Morenci and Metcalf, Ariz.. which ‘began September 11, ‘nitely terminated. them and really more than the former commission had, in the bureau of for- eign and domestic commerce of the Department of Commerce and others (powers of investigation, chiefly) in the hands of the new federal trade commission,” * Fled Arkansas Convict Farm.
